MANILA, Philippines -- An Overseas Filipino Worker (OFW) has been sentenced to death by beheading in Kuwait, the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) said on Tuesday.

The DFA website reported that Philippine Ambassador to Kuwait Ricardo M. Endaya said that Bienvenido de Vera Espino, 29, was found guilty by the Kuwait Criminal Circuit Court of premeditated murder of another OFW, Jhias Gumapac, 30 and was meted the death penalty on May 11.

In November 2007, Espino allegedly stabbed Gumapac 33 times after an argument ensued over a laptop given to her as collateral for money borrowed by Espino.

Endaya immediately advised Espino to appeal the case in court, the DFA reported.
